    I just tried this tuna recipe, and it was so amazing! I love that it doesn't contain mayo in it. So I will definitely make it to put on salad, as well. It's so delicious!

    These were delicious! I made them with swiss cheese instead of provolone cheese. These were a little hard to make because they kept falling apart in the skillet, that is why I gave it 4 stars.

    I am making this for the second time. To be honest, I prefer it a great deal over traditional "tuna salad" sandwich filling. Due to my diet, I am making it to serve over lettuce & tomato slices for lunches this week. I will probably rarely if ever use traditional tuna salad as this was so bright, light, flavorful, and fresh tasting. I too was nervous about the anchovy paste, but it did not overpower the dish in any way and gave it a punch of flavor.
